Markets are Crashing Again! Are You Ready this Time?

Posted by Eric LeRiche | July 1, 2010 .

Did you ever hear the old saying:

“Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me!”?

Unless you were already a sophisticated investor, I’m sure you suffered
some significant losses last year and I’m sure you’ve asked yourself: “what
could have I done and what can I do to avoid such a disaster if it happens
again?” Like most people you find yourself dependent on your financial
adviser who himself is dependent on the mutual funds he promotes.

Let me tell you what I think of mutual funds:

With more than 9,000 stocks to pick from, just how much is just too much?

I talk to so many investors/traders each day that tell me about their
particular “10 positions,” “20 positions,” “50 positions,” and even “100
positions.”

I get so irritated!

Come on, man, think it over!

Mutual funds have hundreds of positions. Their hope is to be diversified.

If the market rises then they might make 2-3%.
If the market goes up big then they can make 5-6%.
If the market decreases then the funds is going to be down 2-3%.
If the market crashes then the funds will probably be down 5-6%.
If they break even then you just paid 1000s of dollars to have your
money do nothing at all.

This scenario used to seem sensible simply because, in the past, the market
has
constantly increased.

However, the stock market has evolved.

Computer trading currently makes up a tremendously large part of the
average daily trades.

2008 demonstrated that a decade could be wiped out in months.

The “fat finger” of 2010 demonstrated that many years may very well be
wiped out in minutes.

“Safe” became the new “Not really Safe.”

So, what do I think of mutual funds?

I do think they make sense for less than 20% of your savings and only if
you
can give them at the very least 10 years to run their course.

I think you may then take some risk capital and look to make a good
years % return for a mutual fund in a single trade.

You heard right, when you learn how to trade for yourself, it’s attainable
to
make 5-6% or more on a single trade.

Hype?

No.

As an example, last year my VIP portfolio members returned an average of
5,8% per trade and the average time to reach this yield was less than 2
months. So you see, I’m not saying you can make 5-6 % per year here. I’m,
saying you can make 5-6% per trade, in average since some will actually
lose money.

(if anybody tells you he/she doesn’t have any losing trades, run the other
way!)

The key to it all…

A Strong Focus On Individual Stocks.

By channeling 2-3 stocks properly you can trade in your own world where
you
really rely on the individual stocks instead of the market as a whole.

The more stocks you trade, the more you are trying to play the market as a
whole.

The less stocks you play, the more control you possess.

I observed a savvy student begin with $5,000 and turn it into $55K in
months by trading stocks in one sector.

Oftentimes, less really is more.

If I had to own 100 stocks for 10 years – I would just as soon have
somebody else take care of my money. At least then I would have somebody to
yell at!

But I don’t have to own one hundred stocks so I rely on myself personally.

I want to teach you how to rely on yourself now.

It begins by creating a good workable stocks to watch list, moves through
entry points and exit points and ends with you coming out on the other
side – in control.
